| Portland Nursery School Website! If you are interested in actively participating in your child’s preschool experience, this program is for you and your family. Portland Nursery School, a cooperative program, has been providing a safe and nurturing environment for over 36 years. We are a non-profit organization. Educational Program Our professional teacher plans a flexible program, allowing for community and parent enrichment whenever possible. We offer a morning and an afternoon session on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The children, guided by the teacher and parent assistants, participate in various activities such as circle time, projects, and free play. Snack and story time are followed by outside time or group activities. Healthy Snacks We are proud to promote a healthy snack policy in our school. Our healthy snack list guides our families to provide the best for our children. We take into account each child's needs and adjust our snack list accordingly. Field Trips Many field trips are planned through-out the year. Favorites include apple picking, the fire station, Kinderkonzerts, the Narrow Gauge Railroad, and the Children‘s Museum. Free Play Areas PNS children choose from a wide variety of developmentally appropriate activities designed to promote growth and to inspire a love of learning. When learning in school includes mom or dad, children acquire the confidence and self-esteem that build a strong educational foundation.
